Save on water and water heater costs

[SpencerH278484]

With the high cost of utilities, I save by installing a shut-off valve on my showerhead. I get wet and use the valve to pause the water while I soap up, then turn it on again to rinse. Repeating this action between shampooing, conditioning etc. You can save a LOT of the cost of water and the cost of hot water heater energy use. I have been doing this for years and it really adds up. No more wasted water.

many medicare advantage programs offer free gym membership.  Most have showers.  May not be the same like a luxurious bath that you can soak for an hour.  Also when I plan for home shower/bath, I capture the water then use it for additional water needs like toilet flushing or garden.
